Two youngsters who were arrested after a crash involving a stolen car have been released – and officers are still looking for people who were in the car and ran off.

A police spokesman said that a black Peugeot 307 failed to stop for officers in Matson Avenue just after 9.45pm yesterday. The vehicle then collided with an oncoming Suzuki Alto and the occupants ran off. The driver of the Suzuki was uninjured.

Some Matson residents heard and saw the incident unfold last night, and said they saw a police BMW X5 pull over near the Peugeot.

“The Peugeot is believed to have been stolen,” said a force spokesman. “Officers initially arrested two youths in connection with the incident but they were later released without charge after it was established they did not match the description of those in the car.

“Our inquiries remain ongoing and anyone with information should call 101 and quote incident 434 of October 10.”
